How to Upload Attachments To Gmail From Desktop And Archive Them at a File Hosting Service

Email AttachmentsOne of the problems with email attachments and using a browser based email client is the amount of time it takes to upload all the attachments. If you are using a slow internet connection, you know how frustrating it can be to upload multiple attachments to a new email message. Sometimes, the connections may fail in the middle and you have to start the process all over again.

Uploading multiple files simultaneously may also freeze the browser. For instance: if you are using Firefox and try to upload some PDF documents of high file size, there are chances that Firefox may stop responding. In such situations it becomes difficult to save the draft which kills your precious time

Another problem with attachments is when you want to find them later. If you send and receive dozens of emails every single day, you might not remember the date and actual message thread of the uploaded attachment. In such situations, you have to search the file in your computer or ask one of the recipients to forward you the attachment.

What if we can use a desktop tool to upload attachments to our Gmail account? What if we can store an online copy of all the attachments to a file hosting provider for free ? In this tutorial we will learn how to automatically archive all the email attachments to a free file hosting provider (using Drop.io)

5 Online Code Editors to Help You Code On The Go

No_flamesFlame wars over one’s choice of editor are a regular occurrence on almost all the tech mailing lists that I subscribe to. In fact, in my opinion, the amount of time and energy that is spent on debating this topic can be easily spent on researching the feature set of a perfect editor that would fit everyone’s needs.

But, since that is really a far fetched thought, I  decided to spend some thinking of the best ways to make my workflow as a web developer as editor agnostic as possible.

And what did I come up with ?
